PRESIDENT EVANS LEAVING CARROLL Dr. Tom Evans shared the news with the campus community on Thursday that he will be leaving his position at Carroll to become the 10th president of the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. His last day at Carroll will be July 31, 2017. Explaining his decision, Dr. Evans noted in his letter to the college community, ”This is a rare chance to be closer to my parents, as well as Lisa’s and my extended families. Coupled with the work of the institution both in Texas and globally, it presented an opportunity that I could not let pass.”“Dr. Evans has been an extraordinary leader for Carroll College,” said Dannette Sullivan ’72, the chair of the Carroll College Board of Trustees. “His authenticity, intellect and passion have been a gift to the college and our students. He has accomplished a great deal in his five-year tenure and he leaves Carroll well-positioned for the future. We are extremely grateful for his transformational leadership and wish him and his family the very best as they return to Texas.”
“I know that Carroll remains poised for continued success, and will take advantage of its current momentum to overcome any obstacles higher education is facing today,” said Evans. “With a distinctive mission, the many examples of excellence, and the college’s extraordinary people, I am confident that Carroll students will continue to be uniquely served for ‘vocation and enlightenment’ in the most wonderful ways. Carroll Saints make a difference in the world and will continue to do so, be it in local communities or on national and global stages.”
Best of luck Dr. Evans. You will be missed!
